Waco native Pat Green announces benefit concert after losing loved ones in deadly Texas floods

The Hill Country floods have claimed more than 100 lives, including some in Green’s family.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Country singer and Waco native Pat Green announced a livestream benefit concert this afternoon on Facebook, with all proceeds helping the victims of the recent floods across the Texas Hill Country.

Green wrote in the announcement post that the performance will have “no audience, just music and a mission to help families devastated by the Texas floods- including my own.”

Along with Green himself, the show will feature performers like Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Dierks Bentley, Corey Kent, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Kaitlin Butts, Ty Myers, Kevin Fowler, Bob Schneider, and more.

The Pat Green and Friends: Texas Flood Relief Livestream will go live from Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 16 at 6 p.m., in partnership with the Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment. The concert will stream for free on YouTube and Pat Green’s Givebutter page, where viewers can donate directly.

Early last week, Green and his wife, Kori, announced the loss of Pat’s younger brother John, his sister-in-law Julia, and their two sons during the flash flooding in Kerrville.

According to family members, John Burgess and Julia Anderson Burgess, a former teacher at an elementary school in Belton, were staying in Kerrville at an RV Park shortly before the flooding. Their two young sons were also with them.

Loved ones said both John and Julia’s bodies have been recovered, but the search for both boys is still ongoing.

The couple’s daughter, who was attending a nearby summer camp at the time, was uninjured.
